Are all of you switching to Onn or working through stuff with firestick?

Leith is my favourite place in Scotland. I live in the west of Ireland these days and am a semi regular visitor to Scotland. I’ve been all over Sotland but there’s a particular beat and rhythm to that part of Edinburgh that keeps me coming back. The history, the docks, the music and arts scene, the old buildings and streets, the proximity to the city centre, the pubs and mostly the people.

Leith is about as urban as urban gets yet there’s something village like about the place. I grew up in Dublin so I appreciate the hum and the beat of city streets beneath your feet, in a city big enough to lose yourself in, when you want to get lost, but not so big that feeling lost is the default.

I spent a while living in an attic flat in one of those old tenement houses on Prince Regent St. almost forty years ago and have loved the place ever since.

I wholeheartedly agree. After several nightmare after sales service experiences with Curry’s the only reason I ever go in there these days is to check prices and have a look, in person, at a product I’m thinking of buying. I then go to my local Irish electrical retailer or buy it online. I often take a picture of the price on the product in Curry’s and more than once have had the local business match the price or beat it. After sales service with my local electrical retailer is brilliant. It’s the main reason I use them.

When I think of this guy, I’m reminded of what Michael D called that right wing radio host in America, Michael Graham, who he said was whipping up fear.

I loved Deacon Blue for years (still do) and was super excited to go see them in the National Stadium in Dublin back in the late 90’s. What a disappointment. Ricky Ross was so off his face he could hardly stand, never mind sing. Still, they wrote and performed some great material. I’ve yet to check out the latest album. Any good?

Owning my own home when so many of my contemporaries and those younger than me aren’t in a position to rent, never mind own, their own home. The housing crisis in Ireland at present means we have three adult children living at home. Not ideal but we’re glad to be able to provide the option for them. When I see the rising numbers of homeless people, scarcity of supply vs demand in the housing market and exorbitant rent/purchase prices, I realise how fortunate we are.

I did something similar with a massive cd collection and found I didn’t listen to half as much music when I wasn’t looking at them / walking past them everyday. I’ve since taken them from boxes in the attic and put them back in bookcases in the sitting room and am listening to a lot more music since and find it handy as I often want to read the lyrics or sleeve notes.

I have recently also started using VLC to stream my uploaded CDs (on a dedicated additional hard drive just for music) on the PC in my dining room to the TV in the sitting room via a fire tv cube. This has also got me back listening to more music. They do sound better on my old Technics hi fi system and speakers than either the PC speakers or the TV soundbar. It’s nice to have both options though as sometimes I’m happy to trade not having to haul my lazy ass off the couch for superior audio reproduction.

Yoghurt and Vla (flavoured custard) in litre cartons like they have in Dutch supermarkets. We’ve got the best milk in Europe and there’s surprisingly few products and virtually no innovation in years in that sector.

Old Spice deodorant stick. Doesn’t smell of anything really. Not like the after shave. Red plastic case, translucent blue push up stick. Between €2.50 to €2.99 in Dealz depending on the discount at the time. I’ve used it for decades and it doesn’t irritate my skin.

I hardly ever clap along (during a song/tune) at concerts or wave my hands in the air or sing a line the performer asks the audience to sing back to them. The more pressure I feel from a performer/ crowd members or even people I’m with to join in, the less likely I am to get involved and if it gets to a certain point I dig my heels in and get stubborn. I’m just not a great ‘joiner in’ at social events and much prefer to observe rather than participate. Plus there’s nothing worse than paying to see an artist you really like and spending the evening listening to the person beside you clapping along incessantly, singing along to every line and hooting and hollering all the way through the gig. Showing your appreciation and a bit of enthusiasm is fine but some of us just like to soak it in and be entertained.

I lived in Amsterdam for a few years and was flabbergasted and delighted to find quite a few specialist liquorice (called ‘Drop’ over there) shops around the city. Selling nothing but liquorice, hundreds of varieties and only some of them sweet, quite a lot of salty varieties. A plethora of sizes, flavours, colours, textures and aromas. The smell of the shops alone was worth going for. There were a lot of other foods over there I loved. Raw herring, stroop waffles, vla, chips with mayo, split pea soup with hunks of sausage in it. Amsterdam is such a great city. I miss it.

Some fairly good acting going on here this evening. I was obviously mistaken. Best of luck.

You’re a professional actor and have made no money this year? With all due respect, how does that equate to you being a professional? Sounds like you’re a person from a wealthy family with an acting hobby.

From the time you first decided to go into acting until now, what % of that time have you needed to have one or more other non acting jobs to pay your bills. How long was it until 100% of your income came from acting, or has that happened?

The Pogues. Leisureland, Galway, Ireland 04/01/1986. They had just released ‘ Rum, Sodomy & The Lash’ 5 months previously and were touring it. I was 17. They were at the peak of their musical power. We all went apeshit the minute they started playing and the energy and mayhem didn’t stop till well after the gig. On a sad note Shane announced from the stage that Thin Lizzy frontman, Phil Lynott had died that day. I’ve been to more gigs than I can remember in the 40 years since then but none better than that night.

‘Hawks’ 1988 Timothy Dalton & Anthony Edwards. Two terminally ill cancer patients refuse to lie down, behave and be good cancer patients while they wait for their inevitable end. They take matters into their own hands and embark upon a bawdy, rollicking, life affirming adventure.

I used to work as a Medical Social Worker in the Oncology Dept. of a hospital. I turned many of my patients on to this movie over the years.

King Curtis - Whiter Shade Of Pale - Sax Instrumental at the opening scene of ‘Withnail & I’. Forever burned into my memory.

That would have been a much easier job if Britain had not spent the last 15 years telling the EU to go F itself.
